June 18th, 1887.
There was a dance at HeasleyIs
last night, to which all the people of
the country side were invited.
Yesterday a mysterious cid patri-
arch with a look which might have
been the mark of disappointment in
love in early life, wandered through
this section; we correspondent met
him in returning home from peda-
gogical employments. His hair was
long and crisp, his eyes looked visit
fully about and he carried in his
hand a battered, old. valise. He
made many boyish inquiries, saying
that he wanted to avoid the railroad
and was seeking work, adding that
he was in no hurry; others that saw
him think that he was demented, l
do not, but nevertheless we have too
many private insane asylums wan
dering over the country, accosting
children on the road to and from
school. W. do not know whose
place it is to look after such unfortu-
nate ones, but this is their tramping
season SO look out for them. i
Childrens day was appropriately
observed at the Swede church last
Sabbath, by the people thereabouts.
There comes to our ears the awful
news of great threats, of drawn
weapons in support of rash words,
of a dearth Of bloodshed, but of a
long list OF threats. vowed to be made
good in the future; this is putting it
strongly and though it would not be
proper to mention any names to the
affair as all the knowledge l havs of
it is by hearsay, yet the productive
soil of Virginia is too fair to be pollut-
ed by the life blood which follows
the thrusts of daggers or the course
of the murderous bullet. Young
men, when together for a social time,
should be careful to leave concealed
weapons at home, or better still leave
them entirely and forever alone.

BAsE-BALL.--On Monday after
noon Mat Gerlng and Ira Nichols
chose up sides and INDUCED in a
game of base ball. All professionals
and any one that was in any way
familiar with the game were barred,
consequently it was very amusing
from beginning to end. Wallace and
Mitchell played in their usual hilar-
ious manner, both of them taking
to the field q chair, umbrella and
fan. Henry Henkin, who had, ap-
parently, never e e a game played
before, started in as meek as a kit
ten, but before the game ended he
played like a wild Commanche In
dian, and despite the efforts of Capt.
Gering, he could not be controlled.
When he hit the ball and got started
he would dash around the diamond
like a wild horse and usually make
two home runs before he could be
stopped. A large number of spec
tators were present who unanimously
voted the game better than a circus.
Capt. Nichols nine were beaten as
the following score will disclose:

PROBABLY TRUEI

Several years ago, Rev. I. Tom
azin, a Catholic missionary at
Red Lake reservation, was removed
from that reservation by ex-Indian
agent Luse who was assisted by a
posse Of Indian police the gener-
al impression at that time was,
that his removal was caused by his
misrepresentation to the Indian
bureau, that trespass was being
committed on the Red Lake reser-
vation by certain we'll known lum.
bermen. We are not prepared to
say that Father Tomazin's char
ges had any foundation, tho the
indications at that time, and sub.
sequent events together with the
numerous complaints made by the
Indians at Red Lake, point to the
possibility of such acts having
been committed.
Disinterested persons who a1e in
positions to know, state that there
is no doubt that trespass has been
committed on the Red Lake reser.
vation ; and in order to do this
more effectually, and without dan
ger of detection, the south bounda.
ry line of that reservation has
been changed so as to throw large
bodies Of pine outside of the res
ervation line, seemingly on to the
locations of men who are con.
Quoting numbering operations i'm
mediately adjoining it. It is also
claimed that all the booms on
Clearwater lake, and several of
the lumbermen's camp are built
out Of reservation timber. If the
facts as set forth by our, inform
ants are true there is good field
for special timber agents of the
Interior department. to work in,
